One for gyros

R - T 1

E I A 2

S I X 2

T - D 2

This is for gyros and their axes

You REST because you are TAXD

R = RATE gyro
E = EARTH gyro
S = SPACE gyro
T = TIED gyro

The middle - or I are the axes, ie - = horizontal axis and I = vertical axis

T = Turn idicator
A = Artificial Horizon
x= ? meaningless but its not perfect
D = DI

The last column are the axes of precession (if I am remebering this correctly)

Hope this helps
